Explore Universal Design in dance and movement in this free workshop with the acclaimed International disabled choreographer, Marc Brew.
From his unique perspective and skill of inclusive practice Marc uses very clear visual imagery, description and demonstrations in his teachings. He guides the dancers through the use of improvisation, set exercises with a focus on movement translation from existing techniques and shares some choreographic tools in making work. He not only teaches dancers to dance and to enjoy the freedom of movement and expression but through his teaching methods enables the dancers to think for themselves and apply his teachings to the best that they can do.
This workshop is Auslan interpreted and is designed for people with varying access needs and for dancers or teachers who are interested in working in an accessible way.
You can attend in person or online, and registration is essential.
Presented by Arts Access Victoria and LGI.
